Description
Been using TV Remote – Smart TV Control for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that turns your phone into a remote for your smart TV. Pretty solid if you’ve lost your actual remote or just prefer using your phone.
Here’s what you can do: you can use it to turn the TV on/off, control the volume, browse and stream content, and launch different channels. There’s also a handy feature where it’ll automatically detect your TV model and set everything up for you. And the app works with a ton of different smart TVs – Roku, Samsung, LG, Vizio, and more.
Look, if you’re someone who’s always misplacing the remote or just wants the convenience of using your phone, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little clunky sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you need a TV remote replacement.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on TV Remote - Smart TV Control. I've tested a bunch of TV remote apps and this one's pretty solid. It's got all the basic features you'd expect, plus some nice extras like automatic TV detection. The interface could be a little more polished, but it's easy enough to use. Compared to the physical remote, I'd say it's a pretty good alternative, especially if you tend to lose your remotes. Not a must-have, but a handy app to have around.
